answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>The apprenticeship levy is collected by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) from employers with a pay bill in excess of £3 million per year. HMRC does not collect data which allows levy collection to be broken down by sector. The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) does not require levy-paying employers to register a sector when they set up an online apprenticeship service account to manage their funds. Therefore, ESFA are unable to supply information on the sectoral distribution of spending on apprenticeships in the format requested.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 11/07/2019 08:26:40 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
